6. What We Learned… Summer 2011 We Needed to be Focused on the Right Things… Student Learning/Results Teacher Collaboration Administrative Focus

7. The Four Questions… What do we expect students to learn? How will we know if they are learning? What will we do when students are already proficient? How do we respond when students don't learn?

8. Develop an Intervention System.

9. Master Schedule for PLCs Preparation for Fall 2012

10. Consider… Student Need Motivation of Staff Alignment of Curriculum Q: Where do you start with an intervention? A: Where you think you can be successful.

11. Year 1 How we Started… Examined all Failures in Every Course. Started in a Focused Area of Critical Need. English and Algebra (9 th Grade). Identified One Intervention. Lunch Study Tables-Provided more time and support for kids with most need. Summer 9 th Grade “Watch List.” Eliminated Self-Contained At-Risk Classes

12. Proactive At-Risk Student Identification All Students are Included and considered for interventions. (Culture Shift) At-Risk and special education teachers are a BIG part of the PLC teams. (Culture Shift) Interventions are with the at-risk teacher in the class. Planning, implementing, sharing, engaging. Tier 3 (Less than 5% of population) are in self-contained Off-Site, BD, Online Learning Individualized Instruction.

13. Identify students with… Attendance Behavior Skill Deficit (Reading) What realistically will these students need for success? We Start Proactively in the Summer With all Kids…

20. Year 2 Expanded the Study Table Concept to all Grade Levels. Restructured the Master Schedule.

21. All students failing a core course attend a lunch study table. English 9 and Alg. 1 (D or below) attend study table. All students in an AP or Honors course, who receive a C or below, must attend a lunch study table. Students who are consistently not successful attend 6 th period after school. Failure is Not an Option! “All Hands on Deck!” Determined every student might need an intervention at some point.

50. What Might An Intervention System Look Like For You?

51. “We are enabling kids.” “I don’t like to work with other people.” “We don’t have any money.” “You can’t change the master schedule!” “We have poor kids.” “That’s not how we have always done it.” “Special education students can’t learn this.” “If we change we will lose our tradition.” “When are we going to teach the kids responsibility?” “I can’t do my grades every week I’m too busy.” “I taught it…the kids didn’t learn it.” “We can’t just fail kids anymore.” Comments You May Hear…

52. © Clinton Community School District Key Resources… And Us!!!

53. Key Takeaways… Without Courage This Will Not Work. Focus on Student Learning. Create a system where students are visible. Create an RTI Structure. System Change-Master Schedules CAN change. Reallocating Resources (People and Time) Ask…If your system is not producing positive results what will you do to change it?
